rapid speed of response low cost of ownership high accuracy

Using a laser to monitor low level humidity offers a number of key benefits.

This robust, non-contact analyser is highly accurate with an extremely rapid speed of response, and has led the industry to a new era in dew point and water vapour measurement. The ability to monitor humidity in near real time has led to significantly improved confidence in the measurement, and improved process efficiencies. The speed of response of the analyser enables rapid detection and recovery from process upsets, allowing easier diagnosis of plant problems and rapid return to normal process level, allowing quick return to shipping product.

The graph below shows the difference in response between a laser system and a more traditional aluminium oxide sensor to short bursts of water vapour. The laser shows a full scale deflection, while the aluminium oxide shows hardly any change.

Non-contact with the process gas: the active measurement system is mounted behind a window, making this technique a robust measurement system with corrosive and contaminated gas streams.

Rapid response: near real time process control can be achieved, improving process efficiency, and, in some cases, allowing the cost of process plant to be reduced.

Low maintenance: with no consumables or moving parts, this analyser has very low operational costs and can provide a short return on investment.
